INTRODUCTION

The potent axe when thrown covered the land mass from Goa-Gokarna to the Cape, now called Kerala. The sea abided anon and the Munikulam forthwith retrieved the last. So it is the gift of Parasurama and the erstwhile tapobhumi of the celebrated sages like Goutama, Atri etc. Little wonder that this priceless heritage is exhibiting the covetable characteristics of head, heart, And and soul of those illustrious high-souled maharishis, whose soul force could sink even the Everest into the darkest bowels of the oceans.

Soon after the reclamation, that immortal Parasurama addressed himself to rebuild, revitalize and reform everything connected with religion - he caused great temples built, codified hymns, created traditions and framed rules and regulations for the maintenance of the houses of worship, besides installing worshipful icons in almost all temples. Moreover he selected and appointed priests and administrative personnel to work for lokakalyana through prayer services and dance dramas. He traveled widely up and down of the entire state several times and lived at certain places for years, spiritualizing the people.
